MAN OF THE HOUR
It has been a decade since Benedict Cumberbatch first donned a deerstalker for his award-winning role in BBC’s crime-drama series Sherlock. Since then, the talented, respected actor has charmed his way into the public’s heart with an eclectic array of performances that have seen him holding his own among the Brad Pitts and Leonardo DiCaprios of Hollywood.
He has commanded the stage in standing-ovation theatre productions such as at the Royal National Theatre and at London’s Barbican Theatre. His deep, gravelly voice has brought to life many villains, including the hypnotic Shere Khan in and the terrifying Smaug in The Hobbit film series. His multiple have only served to endear him further to viewers and fans alike, thanks to his self-deprecating humour and charismatic personality.
